From the rear cover

Economic growth in the West has slowed to a crawl, severely hampering investment opportunities, but there's still plenty of money to be made--perhaps more than ever before--you just need to know where to look. In Where in the World Should I Invest?: An Insider's Guide to Making Money Around the Globe, emerging markets trading expert Karim Rahemtulla shares over two decades of experience travelling the globe in search of winning investment opportunities, revealing the secrets to putting your money into up-and-coming markets.

With numerous developing countries enjoying rates of growth four- to five-times greater than the United States and other developed nations, the time to invest abroad has come. Providing comprehensive, accessible, and at times amusing evaluations of opportunities in China, India, Egypt, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Turkey, Singapore, Russia and the CIS, Brazil, Chile, Africa, Central America, Eastern Europe, and Argentina, this book is the essential resource for exploring investment opportunities in emerging markets. Rich in detail, it provides unique insights into which countries are on the verge of breaking out and which are likely to fall short of their potential, giving you everything you need to make careful, considered decisions about what to do with your money.

Unlike other guides to investing in emerging markets which focus on financial metrics but ignore practical, man-on-the-ground knowledge, Where in the World Should I Invest? is packed with expert advice gleaned from the author's time spent meeting with local officials, hanging out with soon-to-be-deposed finance ministers, and dealing with frauds.

Analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats involved in investing in developing markets, and even providing an occasional sightseeing tip, Where in the World Should I Invest? offers investors of all stripes a unique behind-the-scenes look at "low float" markets around the globe, equipping you with everything you need to expand your portfolio overseas safely and profitably.
